... The problem is that when your input BED record is not evenly divisible by L, you will have one final interval whose length is L. Just use awk to filter those out. Let's pretend we want 5 randomly chose intervals of length 10:
> bedtools makewindows -b set.bed -w 10 \
| awk '($3-$2) ...

... This position is still available and we are eager to fill it. It need not be filled as a postdoctoral position - staff scientist / analyst positions would also be considered. Pay is competitive, the department and lab are thriving, and the location is phenomenal.

... Thanks very much for reporting this. I have pushed a fix to the bedtools repository. It will be a part of the next release, but you can always update your code now by cloning from the repository.
Below is an updated plot based upon the following command:
$ bedtools coverage -a features.bed -b ...

... Yep, default (without providing -f) will detect one base pair. If you use, -f you are trying to override that default, and as such, must provide a value to use as the override.
-f Minimum overlap required as a fraction of A.
- Default is 1E-9 (i.e., 1bp).

... You can't do this directly with bedtools multiinter, but you can answer this by combing a few tools. It is a smidge complicated, but it should work and it demonstrates how combining multiple bedtools can usually get you the answer you need.
